Lisa Banes, the actress known for her roles in "Gone Girl" and "Cocktail," was severely injured Friday evening when she was struck by a scooter while crossing the street in New York City, according to her manager and the New York Police Department.
Banes, 65, is in critical condition at Mount Sinai Morningside hospital, according to her manager David Williams. "We are all just hoping she pulls through," he said in an email. Without naming Banes, the NYPD said a 65-year-old woman was injured in a hit-and-run incident Friday just after 6:30 p.m.Dr. Anthony Fauci said he sees a direct link between the rise in death threats made against him and his family and public figures connecting him to Covid-19 conspiracy theories, which he noted happened earlier Monday during a contentious House hearing about the government’s response to the pandemic.
The public lashing Dr. Anthony Fauci faced on Capitol Hill Monday was illustrative of his enduring unpopularity with the GOP’s conservative base. Yet even as Republicans seek to capitalize on that dislike of the infectious disease expert, former President Donald Trump’s past elevation of Fauci is a potential vulnerability as he fights off an insurgent independent campaign from Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
The Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee raised a combined $141 million in May for former President Donald Trump’s reelection effort, the campaign said Monday – a dramatic boost in fundraising over the previous month’s haul as the Trump team works to erase President Joe Biden’s longstanding financial advantage.
